Kelly Clarkson Shows Off Her Dramatic Short Bob Haircut In New Interviews
The "Since U Been Gone" singer first debuted her chin-length bob during her September 21st appearance on the Today Show in New York City, later showing off the shorter style during an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers. More recently, she revealed an even more dramatic transformation, trading her brunette bob for a blonde version of the short, textured cut during a performance at Providence College in Rhode Island.
However, this isn't the first time the former talk show host has experimented with a shorter hairstyle. She previously sported a choppy, side-parted bob in a promotional video for The Voice in 2025, although she later revealed that the look had been cleverly created by her hairstylist using her longer hair. This time around, her latest blonde transformation has fans wondering what they think of the new look.
Fans Slam Kelly Clarkson's New Blonde Bob On Social Media
While Kelly has switched up her look several times throughout her career, her latest blonde bob has received some less-than-enthusiastic reactions online. After photos and videos of the singer's new hairstyle began circulating on social media, some fans questioned the cut and color, with several expressing disappointment over the dramatic change.
Others were more direct in their criticism, taking to social media to share their thoughts on the transformation and question why the singer decided to go so short.
One X user wrote that Kelly had a "terrible hairstyle and color," as another wrote that it was "odd."
"Oh my God," responded a user. "Who did that to her hair?! They should be flogged and have their cosmetology license revoked."
"How did this [out of] nowhere turn her into a grandma?" asked a user.
"Maybe just trying something different?" asked another.
